Holy shit - this would be very, very bad: "The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."

from a friend in a slack channel: "I hate the phrase "one is one too many". We should care about the difference between 6 and 1,000 and 180,000. That's an important difference. The immediate context is 'one child molested by an illegal immigrant is one too many' but it has been on my mind […]

Cigarette companies tried to sell us “better” cigarettes that were “light,” in the hopes that we would stay addicted & end up buying MORE cigarettes. But the right public policy answer was less/NO smoking. And OBVIOUSLY smoking wasn’t going to be allowed EVERYWHERE. Same with cars. #UrbanTruth

We changed BIG when the consequences were a lot LESS than what we’re facing from the #ClimateCrisis. Don’t let anyone tell you we CAN’T change.

OR -- he DGAF because his real interests are about handing Saudi Arabia an oil monopoly because of his own personal interests. Thread. Follow the money, follow the wars.

It's *supposed* to be quite difficult. But apparently the US stopped paying attention to the Constitution a while back.

Dropsite reports “Black rain” + “nuclear winter” caused by Israeli strikes on oil depots in Tehran - chemicals are producing acidic precipitation that causes skin burns + severe lung damage on contact - the rain is corrosive + could damage structures - heavy metals leaking into soil/water systems

Our captains of industry have never forgiven society for taking away their preferred slave labor options. Sinister bastards, aren't they? "Prisoners in the US are part of a hidden workforce linked to hundreds of popular food brands" "They are among America’s most vulnerable laborers. If they […]

I don't need to hear this* but revving ICEs and playing music extremely loud is not a good way to welcome spring, and also ruins it for everyone else. And the plants, insects, and other animals. Which further ruins it for everyone as you drive their numbers lower. * My neighbors. One particular […]

There are now just three days until the special election in Georgia to fill the seat vacated by Marjorie Taylor Greene. 20 Republicans are running. One Democrat is running. I'm that Democrat. This is how we win. This is how we take back the House and put a check on Trump's rampage against our […]

The Harris campaign performed well, as far as campaigns go, in that she was multiple points closer in the swing states the campaign focused on, and had a smaller loss than most of the world's incumbent parties. There wasn't One Weird Trick she didn't do, nor One Big Mistake that cost it all. Sorry.

Refusing to build supportive housing for those who would otherwise be homeless means more unhoused people living on our streets and in our parks, AND much higher public costs paid by all of us. It’s as simple as that. #UrbanTruth

Death-horny monster-minded mass murderers, all of these war-fuckers.

CEO said a thing!

When Trump started blowing up boats I couldn’t help but think he was seeing it like a game of Battleship, with no ability or interest to understand the real harm he was causing. He sees everything like a wrestling match — winners and losers, violence without consequence. 1/2

A murky, deeply troublesome situation has been unfolding in Chicago overnight. It appears CBP detained an American citizen at O’Hare, took her to an ICE detention facility in Chicago. She hasn’t been heard from since and her family cannot locate her. She may or may not have been transported to a […]

It Can Now Be Plainly Said: Trump Is Planning a November Coup d’État During the campaign, it was kind of hard to picture the specifics of how Trump might pull such a thing off. Alas, it’s getting less hypothetical by the week […]

Yup, that about sums it up.

"A Canadian journal has issued corrections on 138 case reports it published over the last 25 years to add a disclaimer: The cases described are fictional." Retraction Watch broke this story, I think....I've seen a few other places pick it up. Bizarro land in a pediatrics journals... #medicine […]

Thank god we didn't get genocide joe, amirite? Fucking stooges. You know who would be among the many, many, many people still alive if people hadn't bought that bullshit? 160 Iranian girls.

and all those Trump pseudo-populists who spent all of last election season pretending to be serious about antitrust enforcement (with Matt Stoller's help) will be absolutely nowhere to be found

Proud to call her an incredible friend for 23 years and counting. What a boss.

“Traffic models are frequently full of faulty assumptions, and rarely understand actual human behaviour in the context of change and choices. Never let a traffic model tell you what to do. Decide what you WANT to happen, and design how to get there.” — @brenttoderian.bsky.social #UrbanTruth

18 min The land used cost versus benefit is in the red by a factor of three for urban freeways. I don’t want to hear any more nonsense wasting more money into cars. I don’t care if you have EV it does not change the economics on cost benefit https://youtu.be/qiNpRIXtvA4

Cities need shade and when you pave multiple lanes for cars, you open up more space to create heat islands. Allocations of finite urban space should prioritize greenery and active transportation, leaving only a tiny sliver for the personal car. Shade takes time. Think ahead.

The guy on the left was a US Marine Lt. Colonel who was arrested and convicted for selling missiles to Iran. The guy on the right is a Fox "news" *snicker* "military analyst" who says Iran shouldn't have missiles. They're the same guy.

please elaborate about the "unorthodox" nature of multiple concurrent Republican "investigations" and hearings about Netflix mysteriously disappearing the second the buyer of Warner Brothers became a top Trump donor surely you have some additional specifics to share

Hard not to see this as deliberate political disinformation central to a key wedge issue targeted at a large voting block with potential language limitations early in a municipal election season. In other words, lying on purpose so you can win. Twice. #Vancouver

Syrians were by far the least supported group in the last 3 decades when repressed by their dictator, many of the same voices demanding solidarity today also refused to give them any in their time of need. Just a reminder.
